The more she thought about it, the more smug and confident she beca about the decision she had made earlier, and her disdain for Hexia, who had challenged her face, grew.
Putting on airs, huh!
Hexia's rejection that day had made it impossible for her to save face in front of her peers; her face had flushed with humiliation, and it took days for her to recover. Fortunately, today she finally vented her spleen.
Top student, she's nothing but an unsophisticated country bumpkin who probably has never even dipped a toe in the water.
Just as the private room was abuzz with the clinking of wine glasses and lively chatter, the previously closed door swung open.
The newcor was neither a waiter serving dishes nor soone who had wandered into the wrong room; it was the long-awaited Hexia, the last of the class to arrive.
"Hexia..." Setting down the personal terminal in her hand, Clara looked at the figure who had opened the door and entered, puzzled as to why she had co after all.
However, her question was soon answered as following behind Hexia was naturally not just one person.
Cindy, Yilin, and the 'silent duo,' this treasure trove of personalities, Clara knew that today would definitely not be peaceful upon seeing the newcors.
"Among you, who is Lina," Cindy stepped forward first, positioning herself in front of Hexia, scanning the room with her gaze.
"I am, what about it?" Lina, at the peak of her confidence, boldly admitted this and walked over with a few companions by her side.
"Oh, too scared to co alone, so you brought backup, huh," she scoffed upon seeing the group accompanying Hexia, dismissing them.
Cindy frowned, looking at the girl in front of her caked in thick makeup with a sense of revulsion.
"I'm Tilan's classmate, and I want to know exactly who has been spreading rumors and bullying," she said directly, quieting the noise in the suite sowhat.
The boys from Jones's group, puzzled and eager to watch the drama unfold, ca over and spoke in low voices.
"It looks like there's a fight between Lina and Hexia, and Hexia even brought classmates to speak for her."
"They're even bringing outsiders into this, tsk,"
As the crowd buzzed with speculation, Yilin led Hexia to stand in front of Lina.
"You're Lina, right? I saw all those ssages you sent to Tilan and the insults," declared the young lady with her thoughts well-organized, her voice cold.
"Oh, you say I insult people; how did I insult anyone, is what I said not true? If not, you can ask that coward beside you who only knows how to hide behind others and play the victim," Lina said with arms crossed, utterly indifferent. She wouldn't have been embarrassed by such a remark if she wasn't standing here today.
"You asked for it," said Yilin, the heiress poised to take over the family business, not one to be easily refuted. She knew what seasoned liars like this cared about and what they feared.
Of course, she wouldn't let Hexia explain herself; that would be an insult to her friend and unworthy of her own appearance today.
"Then let spell it out for you,"
Yilin raised her arm, and her index finger slowly pointed at the repulsive figure in front of her.
"You, Lina Yordanka, are an outright bitch!" The most direct insult is always so plain and unadorned, yet it strikes deep.
Her voice was so loud, her tone so resolute and undeniable, that the entire room instantly fell silent.
"You!!" Lina charged forward, her face contorted in fury, attempting to slap Yilin.
Lies can't hurt people; it's the truth that cuts like a blade, and Yilin had hit Lina's most painful spot.
Such a truth was probably also clear to Hexia, but limited by her upbringing and the principles she had always adhered to, she would not directly insult soone in this way.
As Lina lunged at her, Yilin flicked her wrist, deftly deflecting the incoming slap and then looked down with arrogance and contempt at the struggling figure before her.
"Disgusting."
She made this comnt and then stepped back a few steps, standing once more alongside Hexia.
"How can you insult and bully Lina like this!" The girls beside her helped up Lina, who had almost fallen to the ground, and then pointed at Yilin, hurling various harsh words at her, but Yilin didn't care at all, she just held Hexia's hand firmly, reassuring her.
"Are all you boys dead? Why are you just watching as outsiders bully our girls?" Several girls, seeing that they had no way to deal with Yilin, suddenly started yelling.
At this, Jones and the others had no choice but to co over. Although they were still sowhat unclear about what had caused the commotion, they could no longer just sit idly by.
"Hexia, can you tell us what exactly happened?" He looked at the girl across from him, whom he barely recognized, and only then did the focus of everyone present shift to Hexia, who was so stunning and beautiful that she completely overturned everyone's perception of her.
"Tell them," Yilin whispered in Hexia's ear, then once again stepped forward, holding Hexia's hand.
The girl walked toward Lina, who was still crying and howling, and then stopped. Seeing Hexia approaching, Lina found new hope and charged toward her, intending to slap the girl she despised.
However, such behavior was anticipated by Hexia's companions and blocked in advance. Cindy and several girls grabbed Lina and also blocked the other girls around her.
"The thing is like this..." Hexia began, looking directly at Lina, who had shown a side of herself that Hexia hadn't anticipated.
Hexia recounted the details of the day slowly and ticulously, without exaggeration or distortion, and her voice was clear and simple. Gradually, everyone present quieted down and listened carefully to the girl's voice.
It seed so pleasant, why hadn't they noticed it before.
Could it be that we have overlooked a treasure these past three years.
She was as pure and moving as an elegant orchid...
After she finished, the people present finally began to sort out the sequence of events, and they could no longer feel sorry for Lina.
"So that's how it is. Not only did you bring trouble upon yourself, but you also dragged a classmate into it. Shaless." While this statent was made in a low voice, because the scene was not noisy, it faintly reached Lina's ears, agitating her.
"That's not true! You've all been deceived by her. She's such a beautiful girl, she's the most deceitful." Although admitting that Hexia was attractive was not her intention, in order to refute the claims, she couldn't care less right now, but unfortunately at this mont, her words didn't hold much interest for anyone.
Seeing that the people's interest in her retort was waning, Lina, unable to contain her anger, grabbed a glass from the table and violently smashed it to the ground, creating a loud shattering noise.
"Idiots! You're all idiots! You're so easily fooled by soone else, ganging up with her to bully soone from your own class!"
"Look at the clothes on Hexia, do you really think she can afford that!?"
"You've seen what Hexia wears normally, and there's no one else in her family, how could she suddenly co into a large sum of money!"
"What fake nobility! That's because she has already attached herself to a rich man and looks down on everyone else!"
"Also, haven't you noticed? The personal terminal she's holding is the latest flagship model from 'Mo Yun Workshop'. She told before that she couldn't afford a nice one, and now suddenly she has it, how much ti has passed!"
"Liar, just a liar!"
"Moreover, didn't soone say before that they saw Hexia wearing a different uniform at Topstar Tower? How could a girl, struggling to make ends et, appear in such a high-end place—it must be soone else footing the bill!" Lina spoke faster and faster, the more she said the more she felt she was right, beginning to turn the perception of Hexia among the people present around.
Yes, these were indeed doubts and unresolved issues, so the crowd turned their gaze back toward Hexia once more.
Faced with this situation, Yilin frowned slightly and leaned in to speak into Hexia's ear.
"Just say I lent it to you, after all, my family is rich."
Hexia shook her head slightly in response to such reminders and suggestions. If she were willing to lie about such things, there wouldn't have been the fallout with Lina today.
She let go of Yilin's hand, stepping forward on her own, while Lina's friends nearby were not in a position to attack.
She closed her eyes slightly, a hand over her heart, and spoke words that shocked everyone
"Yes, the person seen at Topstar Tower was indeed ."
